Definicja framework order

A purchasing document used to procure materials or external services.

Instead of stipulating a delivery date, this type of purchase order has an extended validity period.

Framework orders are defined with the document type FO. They are used in accelerated procurement processes in conjunction with maintenance/servicing plans and invoicing plans, and for blanket purchase orders (purchase orders with limits).

A framework order covers multiple procurement transactions over a longer period in cases where the administrative costs of processing discrete POs would be disproportionately high.
